I would have loved to! My mom just told me last night where it was and I couldn't believe I missed it. I have a doctor's appt and will be caring for my 92 year old grandmother for a while, so there's just no way we can swing it--assuming we could even get tickets.

Have fun!!

I want to, but I don't think I have enough time to get there.

We were going to ... but then I worried about not knowing where the heck I was and that I was really doing this for me not for the kids ... so we stayed home and are now making homemade kettle corn, reading and having a wonderful, rainy inside kind of day!

Ok, so what I thought was going to be a small gathering was 20,000 people! So my family just huddled together. Sorry I didn't try to meet up. It was crazy!

It was awesome - took us forever to get there (my dh who was dropping us off is a saint!) and forever to get out - but it was so much fun. It was impossible to meet up - but we bumped into some of our favorite 4realers (outside McDonalds) on our way out!!! I took all 5 kids - one in a back carrier - and they all had enjoyed it!

We were there too, and were able to meet up by chance with a number of families we knew. What a crowd! Truly amazing.

My boys were very glad to have gone and I think we got some pretty good pictures.

Peace.

Darn! I hate that I missed you all!!! I need to come out of my shy (and claustrophobic) shell and call anyway...

We were there with some other 4Realers (and bumped into Marilyn outside McD's afterwards ). We had a fantastic time and I'm so glad we went! I still cannot believe that was 20,000 people.
